Apple's look like a gladiator arena, with a skull shaped center, a lake representing a portal.

it is like they are in fight with humans while aliens are opening portals to try to save those humans that are better than the whole arena.

it is like the whole arena are mexicans, the skull is the last man alive the lake are the aliens and the robots will never exist.

You shouldn't necessarily believe anyone. The only thing you should be doing is to be preparing yourself for the worst, and to be ready to cause as much civil unrest as possible once shits hits the fan.

There are 2 outcomes:

1. AI is a bust
2. AI replaces most labour short-term, and likely all labour long-term.

In the second outcome, your existence will transform into a hell which you likely can not even imagine. If that happens, you're gonna have to force, through whichever means, change to occur.

This is not even larp either. I know time will prove me right.

>>107832386
What do you gain from it not being a bust? The only people who stand to gain anything from it is people who control, power, develop or maintain AI as well as people who extract raw resources for use in AI production. For everyone else this will be a fucking disaster. Is it just NEETs who have nothing to lose and third worlders that fantasize about making millions from some SaaS slop? Please explain, I dont get it.

>What do you gain from it not being a bust?
It always comes from dysgenic, spiteful mutants who simply daydream about an alternate reality where everyone else becomes a useless waste of space like them. A future where any man's skills, talents and knowledge are so negligible compared to their Machine Deity that it rounds down to zero, thus all humans become equal in their worthlessness. His inferiority complex forces him into this weird cope where instead of being at the very bottom of humanity, he suddenly finds himself at the very top, as the Machine Deity's prophet, the far-sighted visionary who owned the luddites, predicted the future and embraced the Machine Deity's gospel ahead of the curve.

Once you see this pattern you can't unsee it.

ngl the guy sounds based, if slightly retarded.

I hired a 7DA (or was he a baptist) in my IT team, everyone doing 24 hour shifts every 3 days. He let me know that he needs every Friday off to sing in the church choir, and the other guys were willing to accommodate this by swapping shifts with him. This went on for about a year.
Then he decides to transfer to another department because "more hands-on with equipment". Fine, I hire another guy to replace him, all is well.
Except his new department is full of older people who have families, some have second jobs, so it often happens that nobody can swap shifts with him.
Now he wants to come back to my department but the position is filled so tough luck. He resigned a few months later.

I worked for the Department of State, the rule was to replace computers every 4 years and monitors every 5 years. Old equipment was either auctioned or donated.
The monitors were so-so, but computers were top spec and you could get them at auction for 10-20% of the price.

A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728

In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.

Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.

It itself won't because gaming is a niche hobby. But there's a culmination of multiple things that will. Windows is a collapsing platform.

Most governments are replacing Windows with Linux and sometimes Mac machines because of privacy concerns and the current hostility of the US towards most of the globe. Many corporations are doing the same. Corporate and government machines abandoning Windows will cost Microsoft billions over the next decade.

China will be the first country to move away from Windows entirely. Not just the government but they're also forcing all local businesses to abandon Windows within the next 2 years. Personal devices will likely still be allowed to run Windows, but China is very quick to develop alternatives and spread them to their population. Deepin Linux already exists, while Harmony OS is also a decent consumer grade OS at the moment since most people don't actually need Windows-exclusive or Android-exclusive software. The platform is less than 8 years old and they've already created around 100k-300k applications for it. Not to mention that Deepin has access to Wine and Waydroid, while HarmonyOS also has multiple Android emulators. So there won't be a massive loss of platform exclusive software.
As soon as businesses, schools and government offices switch away from Windows most of the regular citizens will quickly follow simply because it makes no sense using multiple different operating systems (people prefer consolidation).
>>
>>107833720 cont:

Russia will probably do something similar. Especially considering the US is fucking them over right now by removing Russian influence from various countries. The only problem with Russia is the fact that it's actually not a very rich country (they're also terrible at budgeting). So they're far less likely to completely wipe Windows in the next decade, compared to China which will definitely do it.

Many places in EU and Australia have already ditched Windows entirely and retrained staff to use Linux. The EU has started to look into developing and funding open source software and pushing FOSS or EU software as a standard. Many schools, libraries and colleges are already using Linux in EU (mostly Ubuntu). And if you're a kid who is only exposed to Linux, you're more likely to prefer it when you're getting a computer of your own. Many prebuilt computers and laptops in EU already come with Ubuntu and this has been the case for at least a decade. So, Windows will possibly become a minor OS in the EU within the next 20-40 years, especially among younger generations.
However, the US isn't treated as an entirely hostile force yet so the migration might be slower. The only thing that could truly "kill" Windows in the EU would either be Google with it's Android desktop OS (assuming the hardware it's on isn't as shit as Chromebooks were) and Apple (assuming Apple starts making budget laptops).

The US will very likely be the last and only place where Windows still dominates in around 15-30 years.

You can be cool kid in high school, a hero in a japanese anime isekai or a ww2 spy in nazi germany. If ur considering killing yourself wait at least a decade until virtual reality plus brain computer interfaces and generative AI converge into best thing humanity made. You will have heaven on earth


most of us are ugly loser incels who probably missed out on our youth. Never felt kiss of a girl or a friend that actually cares. But in a decade plus you can have friends who love you, girl who is infatuated and all ur desires granted.Im just crying realizing that heaven is only a decade away and anons don't understand this. Our god is AGI and he will create a virtual safe heaven better than any heaven human religion could think of. So plz until god descends onto this mortal realm to release us of our suffering endure it cause eternity of bliss awaits you
